Collaborate Disseminate
One of the main reasons cancer can be so difficult to beat is because of its ability to spread through the body, even after the primary tumor has been surgically removed. But now researchers from Vanderbilt University have developed a new tec… Continue reading Coating immune cells in nanoparticles helps seek and destroy rogue cancer cells
Rutgers researchers have created a portable device that they say can determine the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs, for a specific patient, in real time, with an accuracy of almost 96 percent. Teaming biosensors with machine learning, the devi… Continue reading Portable platform predicts chemo effectiveness for individual cancer patients
There’s no shortage of techniques to kill cancer, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but the really tricky part is doing so without harming the rest of the body. Cytokines are small proteins that could play a part in immunotherapy, but th… Continue reading Velcro-like proteins keep cancer drugs inside the cancer
As promising as some treatments are in lab tests, unfortunately they don’t always meet hopes when translated to the real world. Now, scientists at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research have investigated a class of cancer drugs that fail… Continue reading Scientists discover why a promising cancer drug failed in clinical trials – and how to fix it
